It is the only remaining depot of this type in Placer County. It was used as a passenger depot until 30 April 1971. This structure replaced the original Central Pacific Depot, constructed in 1865. It included the Western Union Telegraph Office, Wells Fargo Express Office and a restaurant. It was destroyed by fire Tuesday morning, 26 September 1905. The station was the terminus for the Nevada County Narrow Gauge Railroad from 1876 to 1945. The NCNG hauled gold, lumber, fruit and passengers to the main line of the Transcontinental Railroad. Begun in earnest in the late 1900's, the depot renovation project included temporarily moving the entire building so that a new cement foundation could be constructed. In 2005 the completed preservation and conversion includes a museum, visitor center and waiting room for Amtrak.
